Product details
Overview
MAX6720AUTZWD3+T from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in SOT23-6 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V threshold), VCC2 (3.075V threshold), and an externally adjustable RSTIN input (626.5mV reference). It asserts active-low push-pull reset for ≥210ms after any supply drop, supports manual reset and watchdog timer, and operates from -40°C to +85°C in multivoltage embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6720AUTZWD3+T datasheet, MAX6720AUTZWD3+T pinout, MAX6720AUTZWD3+T application, or MAX6720AUTZWD3+T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-supply monitoring with factory-trimmed thresholds, 210ms reset timeout, push-pull RST output referenced to VCC1, and integrated watchdog with 35s startup/1.12s normal mode - all critical for reliable power sequencing in telecom and industrial controllers.
Technical Context
The MAX6720AUTZWD3+T implements a dual-threshold comparator architecture: one for primary supply (VCC1 = 4.625V ±125mV) and one for secondary supply (VCC2 = 3.075V ±75mV), both with 20ppm/°C tempco and 0.5% hysteresis. Its RSTIN input uses a precision 626.5mV internal reference to monitor a third voltage via external resistor divider.
It integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer (35s min startup, 1.12s min normal timeout), manual reset with 50kΩ internal pullup, and push-pull reset output guaranteed valid down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V. Reset assertion occurs within 20µs of VCC transient crossing threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (±125mV) - factory-trimmed for precise 5V rail monitoring |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (±75mV) - factory-trimmed for stable 3.3V rail supervision |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV (±15.5mV) - enables accurate third-voltage monitoring down to 0.62V |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min) - ensures sufficient processor hold time during brownout recovery |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V) - ultra-low quiescent current for battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded deployment |
| Reset Output | Push-pull active-low - eliminates need for external pullup; drives directly into µP reset pin |
Pinout & Package
MAX6720AUTZWD3+T is housed in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), RoHS-compliant and lead-free (+T suffix), with thermal pad omitted. Pin 1 is marked by dot; device orientation follows JEDEC MO-178AB standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low push-pull reset output referenced to VCC1; asserts when VCC1/VCC2/RSTIN drop below threshold or MR pulled low |
| 2 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference for all comparators and internal logic |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; reset persists for full timeout after release |
| 4 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V); powers internal VCC2 comparator and sets RST2 reference if used |
| 5 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V); powers core logic, sets RST output reference, and enables reset validity down to 0.8V |
| 6 | RSTIN | High-impedance adjustable monitor input; triggers reset when voltage falls below 626.5mV internal reference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual factory-trimmed voltage thresholds | VCC1 = 4.625V & VCC2 = 3.075V - eliminates external resistor networks for standard rails |
| Externally adjustable third-voltage monitor | RSTIN with 626.5mV reference - supports custom thresholds (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V, 2.5V) using two resistors |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup + 1.12s normal timeout - accommodates boot sequences while ensuring runtime fault detection |
| Guaranteed reset validity at low VCC | Operates correctly with VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V - enables robust brownout detection before full rail collapse |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs glitches below threshold - prevents spurious resets in noisy power environments |
Applications
| Telecom Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC I/O Module |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6720AUTZTD3+T | VCC1 = 4.625V, VCC2 = 3.075V, same package and timeout, but open-drain RST output | Requires external pullup resistor; unsuitable for direct drive of µP reset pins with weak internal pullups | Select when interfacing with bidirectional reset I/O or when level-shifting is needed via external pullup |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V threshold only), no RSTIN or watchdog, 200ms timeout, SOT23-6 | Lacks triple-monitor capability and programmable features; limited to basic 3.3V rail supervision | Select only for cost-sensitive single-rail applications where RSTIN and watchdog are unnecessary |
Compared with MAX6720AUTZWD3+T, the MAX6720AUTZTD3+T offers identical monitoring thresholds and timing but requires external biasing for reset assertion, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces functionality to single-rail supervision - making MAX6720AUTZWD3+T the only choice for triple-voltage, watchdog-enabled, push-pull reset in space-constrained industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the exact reset timeout period for MAX6720AUTZWD3+T?
The MAX6720AUTZWD3+T has a minimum reset timeout period of 210ms, as indicated by the "D3" suffix in its part number. This is the guaranteed duration for which the active-low push-pull RST output remains asserted after all monitored supplies (VCC1, VCC2, RSTIN) rise above their respective thresholds. Typical timeout is 210ms, with maximum specified at 280ms over temperature and voltage extremes.
Does MAX6720AUTZWD3+T support monitoring a third voltage, and how is it configured?
Yes, MAX6720AUTZWD3+T supports third-voltage monitoring via its RSTIN pin, which references an internal 626.5mV precision bandgap. To monitor a custom voltage (e.g., 1.2V or 2.5V), connect an external resistor divider between the target rail and GND, with the midpoint fed to RSTIN. The threshold is set by VEXT = 626.5mV × (R1 + R2)/R2, enabling accurate undervoltage detection independent of VCC1/VCC2.
What are the voltage threshold levels programmed into MAX6720AUTZWD3+T?
The "TZ" suffix in MAX6720AUTZWD3+T decodes to VCC1 = 4.625V (±125mV) and VCC2 = 3.075V (±75mV), per Maxim's Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide. These are factory-trimmed, laser-adjusted thresholds - not user-configurable - ensuring high accuracy without external components for standard 5V and 3.3V supply rails.
Is MAX6720AUTZWD3+T compatible with manual reset switches and watchdog timer signals?
Yes, MAX6720AUTZWD3+T includes both a dedicated active-low manual reset input (MR) with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1, and a watchdog input (WDI) supporting dual-mode operation: 35s minimum startup timeout after power-up or reset, followed by 1.12s minimum normal timeout. WDI accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible edges and clears the watchdog on any rising or falling transition.
What package type and environmental rating does MAX6720AUTZWD3+T use?
MAX6720AUTZWD3+T is supplied in a 6-pin SOT23-6 package (2.9mm × 1.6mm × 1.1mm), lead-free and RoHS-compliant (indicated by the "+T" suffix). It is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature and features guaranteed reset validity down to VCC1 or VCC2 = 0.8V - meeting industrial-grade reliability requirements.
